Bizarro World

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Today's distribution of sunshine?.....The exact oppo of yesterday...so, Bizarro World! Yup, we start with tons of sunshine (this assumes you're up before noon) but as the day progresses, clouds will thicken and block out the sunshine leaving us with a mainly cloudy afternoon. Temps will still be hot with many towns reaching 90 before the thick clouds arrive (12-2pm). the reason is a weak little weather system moving into new England later today. this "storm" is capable of making clouds but will struggle to produce showers & storms--only a 40% of a pop-up storm after 4pm.

Looking into the upcoming week, our hot & humid pattern rolls on on with afternoon temps in the low to mid 90s with just isolated t-storms Monday & Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday a rather strong cold front (by mid summer standards) will blast through here during the afternoon with widespread showers & thunderstorms. Some of those storms will be strong. Behind those strong storms is a refreshing bubble of dry, Canadian air for the end of the week.

For my NASCAR brothers & sisters...Let's go racin boys.....

Just In Time

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time.  Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days.  Mostly dry too!

That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:

Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
